ABSTRACT:
A method and system for configurable drain for two-way handshake system is provided and may comprise coupling a transmitting device to a drain bucket, and draining unwanted data at the transmitting device. The drain bucket may be configurably coupled to the transmitting device via a switch, where the switch may be a crossbar switch. The drain bucket may receive at least one transmitter handshake signal from at least one transmitting device. The drain bucket may transmit at least one receiver handshake signal to the at least one transmitting device. The receiver handshake signal may be asserted at least as long as the received transmitter handshake signal is asserted. The receiver handshake signal may be based on the received transmitter handshake signal. For example, the received transmitter handshake signal may be looped back by the receiver as the receiver handshake signal. The method may also comprise generating the receiver handshake signal utilizing at least one of combinational logic and sequential logic.
